The Commissioners are TO report aplan, or route,
Tor the steam railroads OF the city to the Senate
committee, which meets here In November. A
better opportunity has seldom been given TO mu-
nic1pa rulers TO advance the real interests OF the
city whose affairs they direct. Public opinion
views the streets and reservations OF this city as
at the mercy OF its two great railroad systems,
and attributes the failure OF the roads in the past
70 seize everything in sight not to the restraints
OF an Indifferent Congress or timid commissioners
but the Jealousies OF the rival corporations The
route suggested by the present commissioners at
the last session OF Congress- in order TO elicit discus
sion, while 1t has its good points, maintains and
enlarges the evil OF railroad occupation OF the
mall and OF important streets and avenues OF
South Washington, and in the feature OF the loca-
ton Of the Union depot has received and will
always receive the bitterest opposition from the
people of Washington. II the Commissioners, in
the light Of the desired discussion OF the subject
last session. will boldly approach the question
from the point OF view of this community,
point out to the Senate committee the illegal
occupation of public land by both the railroad
systems, and suggest common route and union
depot which, without entirely sacrificing public
convenience, will do the least damage to North
east and South Washington. and Will preserve the
beauty Of the city In its intended unbroken line
OF public reservations. something practical may
be accomplished through their report. 1t has
been recognized In the Senate that these roads
have no vested rights in much Of the public ground
which they have occupied and that body has re-
Gently shown unusual interest in the railroad
usurpations and the matter regulating the routes
in the city and OF establishing Union depot.
Public sentiment on the subject is aroused and or
gained. The commissioners, as the official repre-
sentativeS OF the District, by making themselves
the bold and faithful representatives Of the COM
munity in this matter, can render Washington
efficient service. When necessary restrictions are
TO be placed upon powerful corporations, all citi
zens must pull together for the public good. The
railroads are strong enough to establish and pro-
tect all their rights and make vigorous resistance
TO proper regulation without the aid OF divisions
dissensions, or cowardice among those who fight
for the interests OF Washington.

SWISS SNAILS FOR FOOD.
An indianapolis Man Who Intends to Raise
Them for the Market.

Mr.. Ernest Amiet, Swiss printer on the Ger
man Tribune of this city, is preparing to try a
novel experiment in the way of establishing
snail culture industry here by importing from
lis own country about three hundred of the ter
restrial molluscs. If they live and successfully
complete the trip over here, he will try to ac-
climatize them, and, by their careful culture,
promugate the sale of them for use as q delicacy
upon epicurean tables. OF his modes of prepar-
ing them for the table. which ale peculiar and
original, he prefers to say nothing but will GER
tainly make them known il his experimental i'm
portation should Be successful
AS long ago as the time Of Piiny snails were
considered delicacy and those which came
from Barbary and Sicily were highly priced by
the fastidious Romans Varro says it was the
custom to fatten them for the table upon wine
and meal, and he AYERS that he has seen some SO
fat that their shells would hold ten quarts Of
liquor" Even the Romans of to-day continue to
relish snail meat. and large numbers are con-
sumed by them annually. But the hot-bed of

presently he got up, stepped carefully across

times he returned to his old position, but did
not seem satisfied He repeated the maneuver
only to be called back again, and after
he had done so twelve times l began to
get interested. Going to the corner Of
the rug turned it IN and there found dollar
He kept on pointing the dollar till counted
eigbty-four. just then some friends came in,
and told them that Jimmie would point a silver
dollar They laughed at the idea, but told
him to HE on He jumped up, shifted about
but II was no good he would not repeat the

done, and going to the corner to pick up the
dollar IN confirmation of my story, found it was

worth 81 cents. tell you Jimmie knows trick
